My heart aches deeply for all those who have suffered such immense loss. As a vegetation inspector for this area, I have been on the front lines, witnessing the tragedy firsthand. Despite my relentless efforts and recommendations to remove the excessive fuel, leaf debris, and strike trees that posed a fire hazard, the regulatory agencies failed to take action. Over the past two years, I tirelessly walked every line and spoke face-to-face with homeowners, striving to remove the dead and dying debris. It is devastating and heartbreaking that none of my inspections were addressed, and the compliance cycles remained uninitiated. I was eventually removed from the area after inputting all the vegetation points for the prescribed mitigation. As an ISA Certified Arborist and a credentialed biologist, I dedicated myself to meeting state regulatory requirements, often staying up all day and night. It is profoundly disheartening that none of our recommendations to prevent a fire of this magnitude were heeded. I am deeply sorry for the homes lost due to the unaddressed inspections over the past two years. My heart breaks, knowing that this disaster was entirely preventable.

The water from lakes or reservoirs are treated before going into another reservoir which goes into the hydrants. That reservoir is low or running out. From what I'm reading.

I’m addition. Depending on where they’re pulling from. Pumps could be failing due to the environment and/or start to trip constantly, preventing it from properly running and or not allowing enough water to keep filling the system the hydrants are off of.

[@GollyGeeWilikers]

So TRAGIC 😢 PRAYERS UP FOR ALL OF YOU 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@alicerose8057]

This is unbelievable. In the palisades there are all these fancy almost new looking homes. In that part of Pasadena/Altadena there are homes that have been there 100 plus years. That’s a really old neighborhood and even though there are fires out that way…it’s never anything like this. This is just beyond anything

[@rja9784]

Guys! GUYS! Can the men in dresses still use the women’s bathroom though? How about some real news damn it!

[@debisettles4745]

They’re NOT RUNNING DRY!!! They are empty or have little or no pressure as soon as they’re hooked up! Tell it right!😡😡😡😡😡😡

[@dougw3436]

Start pumping ocean water

[@Rosie-nh5gs]

@dougw3436 Right that makes so much sense, Why haven't they thought of that yet 🤔!!

[@327JohnnySS]

You would think that California would have the budget to build a saltwater desalination plant with the taxes they have?

[@diamonddiet]

Was thinking the same, like when Israel pumped water from the med into Hamas tunnels.

[@Robert-xk9qq]

Seen document on the area,back in 1900s that was an 8000 acres of wet lands they built over towards the 20 century and left only 600 acres of wet land behind,it was a man made development

[@foylebutler8952]

We pay an extra tax just for wild fires. What did newsom spend it on? Did he lose that also?

[@Upcamehill]

He spent it on the rare and threatened one eyed, three winged tse tse insect whose habited he puts above human beings.

Government worker pensions. They are underfunded by almost $200,000,000,000

[@shandajames5444]

This is so sad for the people misplaced and the ones that were injured and death!!!😢

[@ohiovalski]

I'm so sorry for the suffering being experienced due to these wildfires.

[@hazeldavis3176]

All those poor people. My heart breaks!!!

[@forjazznjava]

Opens with such an incredible list of bad news with little information.

[@Kaylin_h]

Well it said 45 min ago when I just started watching 5 min ago- how the hell can news crews get up there B4 that 5 fires going to that level- Think realistically! At least we have some news!!

[@mf5985]

So heartbreaking. Praying safety over the firefighters and first responders. Praying peace over the families losing their homes. My family lost our childhood home during Hurricane Ike. Everything was covered by water and then sucked out if the windows. It feels like the end of the world for a minute... and then you are just grateful for everyone's life. ❤

ومن يتقي الله يجعل له مخرجا هل الله يرضي منكم ماتفعلوه بغزه حتي تصلوا له ارحموا من في الارض يرحمكم من في السماء وحسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل

[@Veeisforvictory]

They should require lawn and land sprinkler systems to prevent the spread of fires if it’s that frequent. These fires have been happening for decades, and yet, they don’t install preventative measures. Military should be activated to help with water drops and assisting in evacuations.

[@JerryHoodson]

Should all be in terms off.. grading pump over some places just to prevent... And keeping working or living inviroment clean ...

[@JacksonMillberr1221]

The end is near

It's too bad they don't live near a huge body of water. Darn the luck.

[@FreemanicParacusia]

Salt the earth, brilliant…

[@l.j.8931]

Too bad they don't have an economy larger than many countries. They could maybe just maybe afford water and pay for their fire fighters. Darn the luck.

The problem with wetting down things is the heat from the nearby fire quickly evaporates it. Embers are blown in through any opening. Its tough. I understand why people stay and fight

[@SlowRidin_J]

NEWSOME IS TO BLAME!

[@jesse75]

Trump recommended to Newsom years ago to move more water to LA.

[@anitaokerberg6091]

Thanks to the fire fighters working their hardest shame on newsome what did he do with the fire fighting funds he should be audited

[@MidnightAutoPainter]

At least they didn’t waste billions and billions of dollars on a high-speed train to nowhere and not bury their powerlines so they don’t fall over in high winds and cause fires. Wait …
